Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The hidden controller of the Black Market knew the rules.

Although he had never met Li Chang’an, he sent someone to deliver a portion of the Black Market’s profits to Changqing Mountain every year.

This was precisely why Li Chang’an didn’t mind the Black Market’s existence.

The two parties had never signed a Spirit Contract; they had simply reached a tacit understanding based on mutual benefit.

Before long, Li Chang’an found Luo Qiantong in the Black Market and retrieved a batch of intelligence as usual.

Luo Qiantong’s intelligence network had already spread throughout the Three Kingdoms Cultivation Immortality Realm, and he had a firm grasp on the movements in both Yuan Country and Yan Country.

"Uncle Li, a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster from the Nether Soul Sect in Yan Country is moving against you."

"I know."

Li Chang’an was unconcerned. He had sensed that person’s presence long ago.

He, too, was now a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster.

Even without a Divination reading, his own skill in Divination was enough to prevent the other party from scrying anything about him.

"Qiantong, help me keep an eye out for news on these Treasures."

Li Chang’an tossed out a list of materials. It included not only the Treasures he needed for his plans against Gu Yunqi, but also items for his own Body Refinement.

After giving a few simple instructions, he prepared to leave.

Just then, Midnight arrived.

A golden light materialized before his eyes.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[You leave the Black Market and return to Changqing Mountain. On the way, you save a stranger, a Golden Core Cultivator. To repay you for saving their life, this person gives you their Armor, which is refined from Celestial Net Gold.]

’Celestial Net Gold?’

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred.

This kind of Treasure was precisely one of the Tier Four Materials that Zi Xia True Monarch needed.

He hadn’t expected to obtain it, yet here it was, appearing in the Divination.

’I can’t delay. It’ll be a problem if someone else saves them first.’

With a flicker, Li Chang’an immediately left the Black Market.

He spread his Divine Sense, searching back and forth between the Black Market and Changqing Mountain. Before long, he detected the faint scent of blood.

Following this faint scent, Li Chang’an soon saw a Female Cultivator covered in blood.

Judging by her appearance, she wasn’t a Golden Core Master from the Southern Domain or the Western Domain. He didn’t know why she had come here.

She was unconscious, her breathing was faint, and her life hung by a thread. She was already halfway down the Reincarnation Path.

’This is a bit troublesome.’

Li Chang’an sent a strand of Evergreen Magical Power into her to investigate her condition, and he couldn’t help but frown.

If her aura hadn’t still been lingering, he would have almost mistaken her for a corpse.

’Her Golden Core is cracked. Saving her is going to cost quite a few Treasures.’

Li Chang’an tore open her blood-soaked Magic Robe and saw a shattered, dark gold Armor.

The Divination was correct; the Armor was indeed refined from Celestial Net Gold.

However, just like Li Chang’an’s Red Scale Armor...

...although the material was Tier Four, due to limitations in the Artifact Refining Skill used, the Armor’s Tier had only reached Quasi-Tier Four.

’I’ll consider this Armor as her treatment fee.’

Li Chang’an waved his hand, taking her with him as he flew swiftly toward Changqing Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Changqing Mountain. He drew upon the vast Spiritual Power of the mountain’s Spirit Vein and infused it into her Golden Core.

Under the infusion of vast Spiritual Power, the already dim Golden Core regained some of its luster.

Li Chang’an then used wisps of Evergreen Magical Power, moving with the delicacy of threading a needle to mend the cracks on her Golden Core.

During this process, he took out a large number of Elixir Pills and Healing Spirit Medicines, dissolved their potency, and transferred it into her body, barely managing to keep her alive.

After more than two hours of hard work, the woman’s breathing finally stabilized somewhat.

’That really wasn’t easy. It was almost like saving a corpse.’

Li Chang’an let out a slight sigh of relief and swallowed a few Elixir Pills to restore his energy.

The energy he had expended saving her was no less than what it would take to refine more than ten batches of Tier Three Top Grade Elixirs at once.

He had not only repaired her shattered Dantian and Golden Core, but had also reconnected her Meridians, which had been smashed to pieces. Throughout the entire process, he had to constantly monitor her life aura, not daring to let his concentration waver for even a moment.

After that, things became simpler. Li Chang’an used his skills as a Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Doctor to help her recover gradually.

’Her Golden Core Quality is quite good, having reached the Half-Step Immortal level. Could she be a Celestial Pride from some Nascent Soul Major Sect?’

He mused to himself.

If she really was a Celestial Pride from a major sect, he might be able to gain a connection to a Nascent Soul Sect.

Before he knew it, another hour had passed.

The woman’s life aura stabilized completely.

A moment later, her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Thank you for saving me, Daoist."

"It was nothing."

Li Chang’an waved his hand and casually swallowed a few more Elixir Pills.

"Where are you from, Daoist? What is your name, and why were you so heavily injured?"

"I am Xue Qiansi, a Cultivator from Yuan Country. As for my injuries... it’s a bit complicated..."

Xue Qiansi’s voice was weak, and she didn’t reveal the reason for her injuries.

Li Chang’an didn’t press the matter. After all, he had acted for the sake of the Celestial Net Gold; there was no need to be too concerned about anything else.

’It would be best if I can gain a new connection.’

’If not, so be it.’

Xue Qiansi struggled to push herself up, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate her Cultivation Technique. A look of shock soon appeared in her eyes.

She was well aware of her condition before she fell unconscious—her entire body had been practically shattered.

But now, everything was restored!

There wasn’t even a trace of a latent injury.

Such methods were simply miraculous.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and then asked, "Daoist, could you be a Tier Four Spirit Doctor?"

Li Chang’an smiled faintly. "Not yet. I just have some special methods, that’s all."

"I see."

Xue Qiansi didn’t ask any more questions. She subconsciously sent her Divine Sense toward her Storage Pouch, intending to take out some Spirit Stones as repayment.

But she quickly realized that her Storage Pouch had been lost long ago during the battle.

A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on her pale face.
